History

The coat of arms of Yate

The first mention of Yate is the existence of a religious house about AD 770; Yate is also mentioned in the Domesday Book of 1086. The name is derived from the Saxon word Giete or Gete meaning "a gateway into a forest area". Image File history File links Yate_coat_of_arms. ... Image File history File links Yate_coat_of_arms. ...

During the Saxon period and well into medieval times most of this part of south Gloucestershire was covered with forest but through the centuries the land was cleared for farming. The History of Anglo-Saxon England covers the history of early medieval England from the end of Roman Britain and the establishment of Anglo-Saxon kingdoms in the 5th century until the Conquest by the Normans in 1066. ... The Middle Ages formed the middle period in a traditional schematic division of European history into three ages: the classical civilization of Antiquity, the Middle Ages, and modern times, beginning with the Renaissance. ...

The town's parish church, St Mary's ^[5] was started in Norman times but was altered during the 15th century and was extensively restored in 1970. St Mary's Primary School^[6], situated outside the churchyard walls, was built on the site of a former poor house.

It was opening of the railway station in 1844, as part of Bristol and Gloucester Railway, that established Yate, with Station Road becoming the central thoroughfare. It was around this road that the cattle and produce markets were held and where businesses were established. In the 1960s Yate was designated as a development area and the building boom began. The creation of a 'new town' included a large retail shopping area, sports and leisure development together with numerous public buildings. Jan. ... The Bristol and Gloucester Railway opened in 1844 between Bristol and Gloucester, meeting the Birmingham and Gloucester Railway. ...

When a new secondary school was to be constructed in the late 1970s, it was supposed to be 'Brinsham Green School' (after 'Brinsham Lane' at nearby Yate Rocks), but due to a spelling error it was called 'Brimsham Green School'. Brimsham Green School is a comprehensive secondary school in Yate, South Gloucestershire, England. ...

The town experienced further expansion in the 1990s-2000s with the construction of housing at North Yate. The housing estate carried on with the corrupted name of 'Brimsham'. To locals the area is known as 'Brimsham Park'.

Yate Rail Yard

During World War II, a rail transfer yard was constructed for the United States Army probably as part of Operation Bolero to assist the build up of troops and stores prior to D-Day. On the site, two large storage sheds survive. At the end of World War II, the site was taken over by the Royal Navy and became known as the Sea Transport Stores Depot (the name persists locally to this day).Until recently the site was occupied by the Highways Agency but it is now derelict.

Industry

Prior to World War II, Yate had an aircraft manufacturing industry (Parnall). ^[9] During World War II, Parnalls specialized in making gun turrets. A number of people were killed in raids by the Luftwaffe on the factory in February and March of 1941 ^[10].
Yate has three natural products associated with it - limestone to the east, celestine or spar near the centre of the town, and coal to the west. The need for limestone increased with the growth of roads while the demand for coal grew with the diminishing supply of timber. Celestine, the major strontium mineral,was first dug in the late 1880s and was initially used for the refining of sugar beet. At one time Yate’s celestine accounted for over 70 per cent of the worlds production. As it colours flames bright red its most important use however is in pyrotechnics, that is fireworks, military and signal flares, and in tracer bullets. The last commercial excavation of celestine from the Yate area was during the Vietnam War. In more recent times this mineral has been used in the electronics industries and in fluorescent markers. The mining company, Bristol Mineral and Land Co, closed in 1994. Flying machine redirects here. ...
